Athletes eating at the Olympic Village in Paris have found maggots in their food. Two-time Olympic champion, British swimmer Adam Peaty, spoke about this on August 6 in an interview with The Daily Mail.
“I like fish, but people find worms in it”“Petey noted.
According to him, the level of reception of athletes, including their nutrition, in Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro “It was incredible”However, in Paris, he believes the level of hospitality for Olympic participants leaves much to be desired: there is not enough varied protein food, and long queues for food are constantly forming.
“Nutrition in general is not good enough for the level expected of athletes. We have to give it our all.”“, added the athlete.
It is worth recalling that complaints from British athletes about the quality of food in the Olympic Village led to the hiring of a chef for the team.
It was noted that chicken and eggs were limited in the dishes offered by the organizers.
It was previously reported that more than 40 athletes fell ill with COVID-19 at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. This was announced at a briefing by the representative of the World Health Organization (WHO), Maria von Kerkow.
According to him, in recent months, many countries have seen an increase in the incidence of COVID-19.
Five Australian water polo players, three-time Olympic swimming champion Adam Peaty of Great Britain and Australian swimmer Lani Pallister have been infected with COVID-19, and several cases of coronavirus have been recorded in the Belgian national team.
The games in the French capital will end on August 11.
